7. The table below shows the probability distribution for a spinner game, where 𝑥 represents points earned on
a given spin and 𝑝(𝑥) is the associated probability.

𝒙 −5 0 1 2 5 10

𝒑(𝒙) 𝑎 0.2 𝑏 0.25 0.15 0.05

(a) Given that the expected number of points won in this game is 1.5, find the value of 𝑎 and the value of 𝑏. (5)

9. Two different clown schools, School A and School B, make claims that graduates will find work as professional
clowns within a year of graduation. 18 students graduate from School A and 23 students graduate from School
B. Based on historical data, it is known that 68% of students from School A and 46% of students from School B
will find work as a professional clown within a year.

(a) Find the percentage of clown school students who will find work as a professional clown within a year of (4)
graduating.

10.. A cookie manufacturer knows that that the weights of a package of its cookies, in grams (g), are normally
distributed. A package of cookies is considered overweight if its mass is greater than 264.2 g and is considered
underweight if its mass is less than 256.2 g. In both cases, the packages are rejected.

(a) Given that 0.13% of cookie packages are underweight and that 2.28% of packages are overweight, find the (4)
mean and variance.

(b) A pile of 1000 rejected packages has accumulated in the cookie factory. Find the expected number of (2)
undersized packages. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
(c) Three rejected packages are selected from the same pile described in (b) without replacement. By using the (4)
tree diagram shown below, or otherwise, find the probability that two of the packages are oversized and one is
undersized.
